Apify Review

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Appify is the biggest directory of scrapers and I totally recommend this. This app is the best thing that I found that could be implemented into my automation workflows and the best example for it where I use it is for lead scraping and for social media scraping. Those two are the key areas that I use it in and this app is very good. I totally recommend this.

Pros

Lead Scraping
Social media content scrapping(I did for Linked in and X)
Google Maps Scrapper

Cons

Nothing comes in my mind as I have not fully used potential of the apify

Likelihood to Recommend

The best scenario that I use Apify a lot is scraping leads. Earlier I used to scrape that Apollo lead scraper after that I shifted to another one. The quality of leads are great and yeah the Apify lead scraper is great to go. I totally like that the quality is amazing.

Apify is the best example of non zero sum game where the vendor gets the short stick.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Here at Neutral Vista, we Use Apify for numerous projects; sometimes I think we are overly reliant on one platform. The reason I speak highly of Apify is that it's a solution to a lot of different things made by a lot of different people, if you go through think you would understand better. Whenever you want to do some sort of data or scraping projects or even automations, go through Apify first. I wish someone had told me this 4 months ago.

Pros

Scraping Information.
Gathering data.
Automates tasks.

Cons

Custom plans for the lower tier.
Better refund policy.

Likelihood to Recommend

In my personal experience, if you are doing any kind of lead gen or marketing projects, Apify is the best place to start. Even better if you are adding research to your arsenal. This is only in my use case. The best way to describe it is that Upwork has a lot of freelancers, Apify has a lot of actors(think of them as your own personal freelancers), plus Apify is cheaper.

Unified solution for automation discovery and monetization.

Rating: 9 out of 10

December 8, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use the Apify marketplace platform to discover and use web scrapers for my automation workflows. Primarily, I used so-called "Actors" from the Apify store to extract web data from different media and channels, such as social media, e-commerce stores, etc., to build a pipeline of data for my automation workflows.

Pros

Incredible customer service and customer support teams.
Seamless onboarding and documentation process for developers using the platform to market and monetize their tools.
Low barrier to entry for new users.

Cons

Testing and evaluating actors to check for quality before use.
Discoverability of Actors on the platform can somewhat be improved.
Better support for developers using the platform as a medium to promote and market their actors.

Likelihood to Recommend

Apify has provided me with a unified platform to discover AI and automation tools, such as web scrapers and crawlers, through its marketplace, while at the same time building and monetizing my own for the developer community. Its customer service and support system are top-notch notch enabling me to find and resolve issues quickly with the tools I manage.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Apify to automate a lot of our data collection. It helps us scrape websites at scale and pull the information we need for our internal workflows.

Pros

Large-scale scraping
Easy automation with integration
Scheduling and Monitoring

Cons

Pricing becomes steep at scale
The UI can feel cluttered for beginners
Limited built-in transformation tools

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need to scrape hundreds or thousands of pages reliably product data, listings, profiles, Apify handles it very well. If you need data updated every few seconds or extremely low latency, Apify isn’t ideal. It’s optimized for batch scraping, not real-time feeds.

Fantastic experience with Apify.

Rating: 10 out of 10

November 27, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Apify to automate industry-specific platforms for our internal use, as well as to publish and monetize actors on the store. For us, it solves the pain of having to maintain our own scraping infrastructure. Apify handles everything seamlessly. It powers multiple of our workflows, from lead generation to scraping and market research.

Pros

Infrastructure
Documentation
Reliability
Innovation

Cons

Native integration for output to platforms like Supabase.
Analytic transparency.
Version control for actors.

Likelihood to Recommend

Very well suited for situations where I need well-structured data at scale, automating interactions with websites that do not provide an official API, and dealing with JavaScript-heavy pages. Less ideal for situations that require real-time data updates, or instant even even-driven processing. It's designed more for scheduled tasks.

Apify is the best

Rating: 10 out of 10

November 25, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are Five Future Labs, an AI consultancy, and for us, Apify MCP has been wonderful because it offers practically tailor-made solutions. Having countless solutions for social media, websites, e-commerce, and even pre-designed agents all on one platform makes it the ideal platform. Furthermore, its integrations are very well thought out, especially because they simplify tasks that would otherwise be a headache. We will definitely continue using Apify now and in the future. Congratulations!

Pros

Social media scraping is phenomenal and allows you to have information practically in real time in seconds, which would otherwise be very laborious.
Extracting data from a social network like TikTok also makes our data analysis much simpler.
Extracting ideas from articles is now much easier, thanks to everything that can be achieved with the range of tools offered by Apify.

Cons

So far, everything has been simple and very clear for us.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's clear they put a lot of effort into making each tool as easy to use as possible. Furthermore, it clearly tracks credit usage, and its dashboard allows you to see every detail in a very practical way. They're the best.

Works for a newbie

November 19, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Apify to get information from a professional tool that had pretty locked down APIs. On Apify I was able to find a module that can access the information I need, send it on to my Make.com module, and do so reliably. I am a newbie in the space of workflows so I appreciated that I was able to get it up and running, and haven't had to come back and troubleshoot later.

Pros

Gets data from source
Has many modules to select between at different prices
works reliably

Cons

There are a lot of modules to pick between, so I'm not sure if I've certainly picked the best one or not

Likelihood to Recommend

It works for me because it had modules that can access the data I needed from a professional platform.

Really useful for marketing agencies

Rating: 10 out of 10

November 3, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Apify together with clay to do scraping and enrichment at scale. We use it for our own outbound as well as our client's outbound campaigns.

Pros

Scraping
API
No-code

Cons

Pricing
Templates
UI

Likelihood to Recommend

In my experience, Apify is best used when you need to scrape data from multiple pages with the same layout. In my opinion, Apify is not good to use for custom scrape or at least not the ones in their Apify store. They do offer SDKs for customers to build their own but I have yet to try if that is something easy to do.

Efficient Automation with Apify Actors

Rating: 9 out of 10

October 28, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Apify to fastrack and optimize the research process on our prospects by using actors like google maps, reviews and others. Using these actors in an automated workflow, we enable our BDR team to focus more on conversations rather than hours of scouring and researching on the web. Current scope is limited to optimizing sales research process. We will further integrate Apify to automate tasks like lead enrichment and lead generation

Pros

Easily integrates with automation platforms like n8n and make
Has a clear and detailed documentation for each actor and API
Has a playground to test these actors and make the best choice
Eliminated the need for API calls and 100s of lines of code

Cons

Using any Apify actor for the first time in the playground must be free. This enables to test out different options and select the best one.
They could add a limit on how many times it can be tested and only limited data can be returned in testing phase.

Likelihood to Recommend

Apify makes it easier to scrape information off the web.

Using third party APIs like google maps, facebook, IG etc might be too technical to setup and get running. Apify eliminates the hefty setup process and allows for a seamless integration.
